WORKING
CLEARANCE
 Minimum clearance between live control equipments and
such earthed structure/live parts of different elementary
sections where men are required to work.

 Working clearance shall be 2 meters,

 Where the clearance is not obtained the structure shall be

protected by earthed metallic screens and prescribed
warning boards.

ELECTRICAL
CLEARANCE
 Electrical Clearance means the distance in air between live
equipment and the nearest earthed part.

 The clearance between 25kv live parts and earthed parts of

fixed structure or moving load shall be as large as possible.
The electrical clearances to be maintained under worst
condition of temperature, winds are as below.
Type of clearance Vertical Horizontal
Long Duration 250 mm 250 mm
Short Duration 200 mm 200 mm

CLEARANCES IN TUNNELS AND

OTHER OVER LINE STRUCTURES

 If the OHE construction as well as the tunnels and over line

structures are not modified subsequent to the
electrification, the clearances provided at the time of
erection will remain unaltered.

 It is, however, important to check the clearances during the

annual maintenance, compare the values given in as erected
and take corrective action as required.

CLEARANCES FROM OVERHEAD

EQUIPMENT

 Where a 25 kV feeder crosses overhead equipment

belonging to a different elementary electrical section, the
clearance between the feeder and the overhead equipment
shall not be less than two meters under any conditions.

CLEARANCES FROM LINE SIDE

STRUCTURES

 Normally, no feeder should be erected over huts, cabins,

platforms shed or other covered structures. If unavoidable
the clearance between the highest point of a covered
structure and a 25 kV feeder passing over it shall be 2 m
under all conditions.

 In the case of a 25 kV feeder passing over an over-line

structures which is not covered, a suitable metallic screen
shall be provided on the structure underneath the feeder.
The clearance between the feeder and the highest point of
the screen shall be adequate.

 A clearance of 2 m is desirable between the 25 kV feeder

and any part of an earthed structure for facilitating
maintenance work on the structure.
